Jefferson Muzzle Award to Georgia Anti-evolution Legislator
Georgia State Rep. Ben Bridges, is among the recipients of this year’s Jefferson Muzzles — a “dubious distinction” bestowed by the Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression, for proposing a bill to restrict teaching about evolution in public school science classes.
Bridges bill provided that teachers could only teach “scientific fact,” not theories. Guess he forgot that evolution and gravity are both theories.
